"...a fine performance by a trio that is truly a threesome in all aspects. The music will all be well known. The songs are handled with dignity and respect. On many tunes he sings the verses also, much appreciated. Gershwin’s music lends itself so well for jazz performances and Mr. Beekman takes full advantage of that fact.
All I can say, if you love Gershwin and you appreciate a fine trio setting, this disc is for you. I recommend this compact disc without reservation."

"As a vocalist, Perry Beekman can hold his own with any of his contemporaries. As a guitarist, Perry adds a bit of the New York panache that elevates these classics to a new rarefied level of excellence... Perry Beekman raises his game and with that moves to the very top of the pack in the traditional jazz setting. Bewitched is about as close to perfect as you can find."

"It is rare to find a jazz guitarist that ‘burns’ on the guitar and sings superbly. Such is the case with Perry Beekman."
Review by Brandon Bernstein
Just Jazz Guitar Magazine
"Eschewing vocal gymnastics, Beekman lets Porter’s lyrics and melodies speak for themselves. Considering his dual talents, John Pizzarelli might need to watch his back."
Review by Dan Forte
Vintage Guitar Magazine
“Beekman is an engaging singer, and a terrific guitarist. His partners in music are perfectly simpatico with his approach to the material. This combination of jazz and the sophisticated songs of Cole Porter will lift your spirits and keep a smile on your face.”
Review by Joe Lang
Jersey Jazz
“Making old school new cool is a walk in the park for Beekman who is indeed real deal talent…”
Review by Brent Black
CriticalJazz.com
“This jazz guitarist takes a delightful meander through territory that’s not quite jazz, not quite cabaret but enough of both to please either audience. Standards taken off the beaten path, what a concept. Give it a spin when the need for sophistication is in the air.”
